Davido Highlights Friendship with Chris Brown in Successful Collaborations

Nigerian singer David Adeleke, known as Davido, shared his thoughts on international collaborations for upcoming musicians during a panel discussion with the US advisory council in Nigeria. When asked about young artists seeking international features, Davido used his relationship with American singer Chris Brown as an example. He emphasized that their collaborations stem from genuine friendship, which enhances their commitment to the project.
Davido explained that working with friends like Chris Brown ensures everyone puts their best effort into the music. He highlighted that their partnership goes beyond simply making songs and shooting videos; it is rooted in mutual respect and a shared passion for music. He further stated that their friendship transcends race, asserting that as long as the music is valuable, it doesn’t matter whether the collaborator is from Congo or America.
In his words: “Me and Chris Brown are actually friends. When you collaborate with people that are your friends, everybody puts their all into it. It’s not that we’ll do songs now, shoot video and that’s it. He’s actually my friend and we love to work together, so I feel like friendship, no matter the race, whether he’s from Congo or America, as long as the music is worth it.”

“Doctors Thought The Cancer Was Serious But I’m Healthy” – Mercy Johnson Says

Nollywood star Mercy Johnson-Okojie has cleared up worries about her health after a video of her talking about a cancer scare went viral. In a clip from her show Mercy’s Menu, Mercy shared a heartfelt conversation with fellow actress Joke Silva, where she opened up about her recent health challenges, including sudden weight loss and having her thyroid removed after doctors suspected cancer.
However, many fans misunderstood and thought Mercy had been diagnosed with cancer, flooding her with prayers and messages of support. In response, Mercy took to Instagram to set the record straight. She explained that although doctors were concerned about a tumor on her thyroid, it was not cancerous. She said, “Thank you so much to everyone who reached out with prayers and messages. I truly appreciate it. But I want to be clear—I do not have cancer.
“I noticed the clip from Mercy’s Menu was being shared, but it was taken out of context. When I said I had a cancer scare, it meant the doctors found a swelling on my neck and thought it might be serious. I had thyroid issues, but thankfully, everything is fine now.” Mercy reassured her fans, “I’m doing well, and I’m very grateful for all your love and concern.”

Conan O’Brien to Voice Funny New Toy in Upcoming Toy Story 5 Movie

Conan O’Brien is stepping into the animated world of Toy Story 5, and fans couldn’t be more excited. Known for his quick wit and long-running career in late-night comedy, O’Brien will be voicing a brand new character in the franchise called Smarty Pants — a high-tech toy who’s clever, quirky, and perfectly suited for the digital age.
The announcement was made by O’Brien himself in a playful video on Instagram, where he jokingly said he wanted to voice either Woody or Buzz. With his signature sarcasm, he said, “They told me Woody was already taken by Tom Hanks. And Buzz? Yep, Tim Allen again.” Eventually, he revealed the real role — Smarty Pants — and called him “the best character of them all,” clearly thrilled to be part of the iconic franchise.
Toy Story 5, set to hit theaters on June 19, 2026, will take a fresh look at how traditional toys survive in a world where children are now more into electronics, tablets, and virtual games. Pixar is going all in to blend the warm nostalgia of old-school toys with the reality of modern playtime. And that’s exactly where Smarty Pants fits in — a tech toy navigating the world of classics like Woody and Jessie.
Directors
The movie is being directed by Andrew Stanton, a long-time Pixar creative behind earlier Toy Story films, and he’ll be joined by co-director McKenna Harris. Jessica Choi will serve as the producer. Together, they plan to reintroduce fans to the toy box while also shaking things up with new faces like O’Brien’s Smarty Pants.
Pixar’s Toy Story franchise has already built a massive legacy, raking in over $3.3 billion worldwide since the first film. Toy Story 4 alone brought in more than $1 billion and even took home the Oscar for Best Animated Feature. Now, with new characters entering the scene and old favorites returning, Toy Story 5 is shaping up to be another huge moment for the series.
This isn’t Conan’s first time lending his voice to animation. He previously appeared in The LEGO Batman Movie and The Mitchells vs. The Machines. But this new role could be one of his most memorable, especially for a new generation of young fans who may be meeting him for the first time through a toy with a lot of brains and a lot of personality.
